CB7 knob for parameter adjustment
29th March 2006

CB7 response knob

The CB7 is the latest addition to our range of subject response interfaces.

The high quality aluminium knob connects directly to your PC via a USB interface, and is suitable for finding visual thresholds or making precise parameter adjustments of any kind. The knob can be pressed like a button as well as turned, and detects six actions.

We designed the CB7 as part of our Metropsis Macular Pigment Optical Density test, and it is now supported by the CRS Toolbox for MATLAB so that you can integrate it easily into your own experimental setup.

Sell more eye trackers and help improve science!
20th February 2006

Professor Tim Jordan

“Sell more eye trackers and help improve science!” was the message we received this week from Professor Tim Jordan (pictured left), Chair of Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Leicester, UK.

Work by Professor Jordan and his group shows that experimental tasks that require accurate fixation can be done properly only by using an eyetracker. Of particular concern is that numerous studies in vision research require participants to fixate a central fixation point in order to present stimuli accurately in their left and right visual hemifields ...

CRS and Namoto celebrate!
5th January 2006

This was the scene in December when we welcomed our colleagues from Namoto Trading Company to our offices in the UK.

Namoto is based in Tokyo, and is our sole authorised dealer in Japan. They have represented Cambridge Research Systems for ten years, and support our customers with a wealth of experience about our products. During their visit we were pleased to help them brush up their knowledge of our latest systems, including the High Speed Video Eyetracker, and VSG Toolbox for MATLAB.

Namoto's Japanese language web site is at www.Namoto.com, and you can email them at mid@namoto.com.
